From the Vault: Magical Mark Waugh's MCG masterclass 

Mark Waugh, and Damien Martyn...Style overload!!!

He never looked rushed Mark Waugh. Even his fielding looked graceful.

Mark Waugh is the most Languid, Nonchalant,effortless and Classy player I have ever seen.

Mark Waugh is my all time favourite !! To think what some of the players of that era could’ve done with the bats of modern day cricket..

There is something about watch Mark Waugh bat that is very reassuring in these mad times we live in.

Best timer of the ball I have ever seen. Majestic. Class.

Love his batting style... Effortless strokes, so pleasing to eye, isn't it? Still one of my favourites

Doesn't even take his helmet off for his 100 or his 150. What a player.

Most elegant and styalish batsman ever .my point of view

One of the greats..the greatest batsman of the aussie batting lineup in the 90's (before Gilly,Hayden & Ponting)...the legend Mark Waugh..he was so elegant that I used to copy his batting stance in my childhood...

Mark Waugh just oozed talent and class. His career coincided with Lara/Tendulkar as a result he was always going to be in the shadow of those two legends as well as his brother Steve Waugh.

They don’t make ‘em like Mark Waugh anymore. Sorely missed!

One of the most stylish batsmen ever. What a great player.

Such a class player miss him😍😍😍👏👏👍👌👌👌❤️❤️

He's on his own league of timing the cricket ball as smooth as silk

One of my favorite crickers growing up. I watched ausies play just to see him and Damian Martin play. Love From Sri Lanka

He plays those shots with Finesse. Its just like slicing Butter with Hot knife

Very stylish batsmen ..love to see him bat....there is a time when Sachin and mark Waugh...both were great batsmen of those time

This was actually his 3rd hundred of the series and he averaged 110 or so for the tournament. Player of the series though: Brian Lara with an average of 45 and 3 ducks

Classiest cut shot.. and played off his legs really well.. looked like he had so much time. Wonderful player.

I was at MCG watching this match,coincided with my father's business tour then.... It was very mucg pleasure watching M Waugh playing,most beautiful stroke player, especially his leg glance shots still are my favorite

Whoever tried His bat holding style in your childhood?

Imagine how he’d go with the modern bats. A lot more 6s in this innings perhaps 😮

Probably my favourite cricketer. Pure class. 👌👌👌 And that's coming from a Pom.

I have never seen M Waugh fielding without sunglasses and never take off his helmet even he scores highest one day score for Aus.

His shot making is very different from other batsmen

Mark Waugh (Junior) is always my most favorite Aussie batsman of all time. Such grace and style. Lara, Azhar, him (Junior), Laxman, Anwar, Martyn, Jayawardena and Amla are the most stylish batsmen I have seen. Started watching cricket in 1989-90. Didn't get to watch much of Gower (don't remember much).

Rohith Sharma reminds me so much of Mark Waugh! The time in hand, elegance and ability to absolutely dessimate an opposition! Legends!

I loved mark Waugh wen I was a kid his off spin as well and his style , standing in the slips

He was the most stylish batsman of his era...

He reminds me of my brother, second best batman in the family.

This man did his work silently. No one gave importance to him. He played in the shadow of Steve Waugh. Wheather he scored 100 or not but Australia always wined for him. Most underrated batsman

Mark, arguably one of the greatest batsmen ever to appear in one day cricket.

of all Australian batsmen he was probably the one most pleasing to the eye! one of my all time favorites!

My fevret player of my childhood..great mark waugh

I just remembered I used to play like Mark Waugh in my childhood.. same batting style

what a player he was ! we need to remember these great players once in a while .

Prior to this innings in early 2001 (the first year of the 21st century in actual fact), very few batsmen had passed 150 in a one day innings. The australian record at this point was 145 held jointly by Dean Jones (1990-91) and Ricky Ponting (early 1998). Three years after this, Gilchrist made 172 against India, 3 years after that Matthew Hayden got 181 against New Zealand and the current record by Shane Watson of 185 not out was achieved about 4-5 years after that. In around all this, Ponting, Andrew Symonds, Steve Smith and David Warner, among others for Australia have all gone well past 150 on several occasions each. And this is just one country, not to mention other country's batsmen. Not denigrating the class of such batsmen, but one would have to conclude that batting in one day cricket has been considerably easier post year 2000.

One of the best timers of the cricket ball i've seen !

I had a poster of this batsman..the only one , then followed many as cricket being into my existence...he was special but not many people remembers and not many videos uploaded too...but special means special....thanks for this one..

Lazy elegence and shot selection 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾.. What a player....what a player...what a player👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Cant think of a more stylish batsmen than Mark Waugh. PURE CLASS.

He was always a treat to watch with the bat and even on the field... he used to make it look so easy man... true class❤️

My favorit player in All time!

Right from his walk,batting ,bowling,fieding nd catching....is stylish/elegannce, calmness nd confidence..what a player

When Mark Waugh used to bat, it seemed he was using his willow as a paint brush. So effortlessly elegant!!!!

Sachin & mark waugh my school🎒📚 days... Cricket heroes🏏🏏@90's

By far one of the greatest/smoothest player of all!!!

He was piling on runs for NSW but the Aussie selectors still hadnt picked him so he was called "Afghanistan".....the forgotten Waugh. Lol.

Mark Waugh and steve Waugh is my best player and twins of all time

One of the most beautiful batsman in my opinion.

Azharuddin, Mark Waugh and VVS Laxman were 3 great batamen who used their wrists beautifully to score runs. Their batting style was an art, magical and treat to the eyes.Mark Waugh you beauty!!! An all time great.

What class and style he had. All those years he and Steve had in the backyard hitting the ball in the stocking whilst growing up definitely paid off.

Ease and elegance personified. Never get sick of watching this one. A one-of-a-kind.

I came here to watch and listen the gem of the commentaries by Mr. Lawry, Mr. Greig and Mr. Beanaud after listening to the shouting match (a disgrace to the sports commentary) of today’s Aus vs WI (02/04/24). Thank you for the memories and Mark’s graceful play.😊

Mark Waugh is my all time favorite...

My favourite stylish, class & handsom player, no body can touch his style of shots making.

Style with full elegance.....What a legendary player!!!!!!👍👍

There were a few years there where Mark Waugh was the best ODI opener in the world in my opinion. It was so good having his balance of relaxed but very aggressive opening in that period. He alway made you feel good seeing him come out to bat.

Mark Waugh, Damien Martin, azharuddin, VVS, Desmond Haynes elegant players.

Almost every player of that Australian team is a gem and a brilliant one.

Simple,class,stylish and fearless...one and only Mark Waugh.

Mark waugh my favourite player ever to watch i used to like the way he used to play spinners

Mark Waugh is a bit of an enigmatic figure as his career charts show. He started off as a brilliant test batsman and an absolutely majestic player of high quality fast bowling, his stats in West Indies against Ambrose and Walsh & in South Africa prove it. Then transformed himself into an excellent player of spin bowling. But as his career progressed, he became a full-fledged ODI specialist with declining test form. Still retired with great figures though, no doubts about his being an ATG in limited overs cricket.

it's a beauty to watch him play in the off especially the square cut shot.. probably one of the best openers for aussies

I just love this era of cricket. It had class, elegance and clash of real egos. No over the top arrogance.

There was a long period back then where if Mark Waugh wasn't firing, Australia lost, simple as that. Legend of Australian Cricket.

Good of ACB to finally acknowledge a Waugh

Most stylish batsman of all time. I could watch him bat for hours.

Still he is my hero.

Super class by mark wagh great cricket from him

Always a treat to watch his batting an fielding as well

Best set of hands the game has seen

What a stylish, perfect and talented batsman. My all time favourite of Australian team. Love from Pakistan❤️

8 balls from carrying his bat through the entire innings & score half the team's total - a good day's work.

Most underrated batsman of his generation. Graceful batting style.

if mark waugh would have been this generation, he would have become one of the best t20 player with his allround skills

Great sir Mark waugh magical & lovely pair of hands he possessed. Once in a lifetime legend.Respect🙏🙏

Beautiful bat and the best set of hands I’ve seen catching a ball!

He is the most elegant stylish batsman world have ever seen.

Mark Waugh was great to watch. He had flair 😉

One of the greats from 90s. Used to love his batting that time.

Simply classic , Waugh brothers are do good square of the wickets.

Most stylish elegant batsman my chilhood Hero.. Mark Waugh

One of the most elegant Batsman I've ever seen.

After Brian Lara his batting is a pleasure to the eyes. Great hitting man!!! ❤️💛

Wt a classy player he was. Lazy elegance. Always enjoyed watching him batting in those childhood days.

Such a treat watching him play 😍

Great player. Always cool and gentle person👏

Unsung hero for Aussie Cricket ❣️❣️

such a stylish batsman was Mark Waugh,,delight to watch

Mark Waugh was one the most elegant batsman ever. Superb at slips. It's crazy how ppl forgot how good both Waugh brothers were. Steve Waugh is undisputedly the best cricket captain since may be Clive loyd and border.

My fav batsman..

The quality of the Aussie cricket broadcasting was unmatched too. Others eventually caught up. Love watching videos on this channel.

The gret legend Sir Mark Waugh

MARK WAUGH sheer class.

My favorite cricket all time is the MarkvWaugh❤

Rohit sharma nd mark waugh are the most classy batsman that i have ever seen nd their shot making is just wooow especially of rohit👏

00:01:28 Andrew Bogut: And again! Take that! 00:01:32 They’ve Lost it! You cannot bowl short to our man, Mark Waugh!

Mark is the most stylist.. Rohit sharma, and VVS come in the same class.. These guys hit shots with clinical precision.. Never see them make any awkward body movements.. No slogging.. I guess elegance is attitude.. Loved watching Mark after such a long time. Thanks Criicket Australia for taking this video out of the vault.
